posts of Illinois met at the state house and
adopted vigorous resolutions protesting

Mrs. Haddock Returns to Sioux City to
Assist In the Prosecution.
MARENGo, ILL.,, June 16.-Mrs. George
G. Haddock, widow of the Methodist min
lister who was murdered at Sioux City over
a year ago, has arrived here on brief visit
to friends, accompanied by her son Frank.
She has been making her home at Oshkosh
but had arrived at the determination to re-
turn to Sioux City and take up her per-
manent abode there. She takes the failure
to convict the alleged murderers very much
to heart and it is thought that her deter
mination to return to Sioux City is due to
a resolve to personally leave nothing un-
turned to bring the perpetrators to justice.

At the close of the afternoon session Of the
board the following announcement was
made;
GENTLEMEN-We have assurances of
ample funds to meet all calls on us by to-
morrow morning, and we request that no
trades with us be closed out. Respect
fully, C. ). KERsHAw & Co.
This firm is the recognized leader of the
brokers for the clique. The announce
meet did much to strengthen the feeling at
the close of Change. and it is believed that
the banks have come to the assistance of
Kershrw & Co. in order to prevent fur
ther decline.
THE FEELING IN MILWAUKEE.
MILWAUKEE, June 1.-THE sudden drop
in wheat at all the great grain centers
caused intense excitement on Change to-
day. Three failures were announced, viz:
Frank Wilson, Joseph Wilde and Hill,
Fleutzheim & Co. The Milwaukee branch
of G. j. Kershaw & Co., of Chicago, Hooker,
Crittenden & Co., closed out all their
trades. Their failure depends on the abil-
ity of the Kershaw crowd to meet all their
obligations. Hill, Fleutzheim & Co. claim
that the money needed by them will be
forthcoming tomorrow, in which event
Hooker, Crittenden & Co. and Frank Viii
son will also resume. John Wildok, a
broker, announced his inability to meet
margins this afternoon. It is believed that
other houses will find themselves in deep
water tomorrow. Much money has been
lost here in small amounts.
FROM CINCINNATI.
CINCINNATI, June 14.-The Commercial
Gazette tomorrow will say: yesterday
after the wheat decline the city was full
of rumors, among them being dispatches
that the Fidelity National bank was af.
fected. We visited that bank and we are
authorized by the president, Mr.. Briggs
Swift, to say that the Fidelity National
bank is in no way, directly or indirectly
concerned in the so called deal and cannot
be affected by the results"

The Second DaY.

CHICAGO, June 15.-Everybody was on
the Qui vive for developments on 'change
to-day, and while the excitement did not
run as high as yesterday the feeling was
far more nervous and feverish. The UNI
certainty of the financial standing Of some
of the houses was what caused the greatest
anxiety, and as one firm after another,
some twelve to fourteen in all, gave notice
that they were unable to further margin
their trades and asked to have their trades
closed out, the anxiety increased, none
knowing who would be next. Outside in
fluences counted for nothing. Everything
depended on local developments. Many
commission merchants have been closed
temporarily and make no trades, and are
giving all their attention to the settling up
of their old business. The opening was
wild and excited, and as the announce
ment was made by one of the principal
firms connected with the long side that all
margins would be put I'D the market be-
came very strong, and prices were after
numerous fluctuations started up, advanc-
ing to a point SIC higher for June,
&c for July and 1@119c higher for the
other future than the closing figures of
yesterday. But the advance brought on
heavy offerings again, and then came the
announcements one after another from
firms to close out their trades and a panic
quickly followed. Fluctuations were very
frequent, but each temporary reaction re-
suited in prices dropping lower and lower
until toward noon, when there was tenn
porary lull and the market ruled steady
for while. Operators expected some fur
ther important announcements at noon,
and for five minutes a deathlike stiffness
remained. but i'll the short interval the
hands Of the wheat indicator quickly re-
corded drop of 1ac and 1c at time until
July touched zoe. Never before in the his
tory of the wheat trade has such an ap-
palling stiffness reigned with wheat drop
ping cents in less than that many min
utes. Operators gazed blankly at one
another, not knowing what the end would
be. But the reaction came and the price of
July gradually shot up 1c at time, selling
to 7Sc, followed by numerous fluctuations.
The decline for July from the highest point
to-day was SIC, and from the highest point
reached last week, 75sc, closing 25sc lower
than yesterdays closing. June declined
91sc from the highest point reached this
morning, and 25Mc from the highest point
reached last week, closing 4Ac lower than
yesterday. The more deferred futures
ruled at premium over the nearer fu-
lures. but all sold lower. August at times
ruled at 4c, September 25sc, and December
~ lower than the closing figures of yes
terday afternoon, and closed at from 11Se

unsettled and generally lower. Foreign
markets were depressed, and the quantity

CHICAGO, June 16.-The range of prices
in wheat were fair indication of busi-
ness done. The range was narrow, as
most of the firms on change were refusing
business owing to the muddled state into
which their accounts have been thrown by
the wild fluctuations and numerous fail
ures Of the last few days. Several conser-
vative concerns declared that no more
orders would be executed by them until
their books and accounts were Strengthened.
Confidence has not yet been restored,
though it is thought the worst is over, and
no new failures are imminent. But one
occurred to day, though several were
crowded quite hard and it was expected
that they would be forced to the wall. OF
course repeated promises of Kershaw &
Co. that funds would be forthcoming were
again received to-day, but they fell with

already. July wheat opened at 7Sc, which
was 10 higher than the close yesterday.
For the whole of the morning prices fluc-
tuated between 72Xc and 1880, and after
the first furry of the morning, the market
was very quiet. June wheat, which
was another of the months which
have been under such heavy fire,
started in unchanged at Tic and sold as
high as 7I1ac, and back again as low as Tic
during the morning. Trade in it was also
light. At no time after the first half hour

comfortably filled. July closed at 7Sc, and
June at 71Bc. Corn was quiet deal from

DULUTH.
DULUTH, June 16-The suspension Of
Griffith, Marshall & Co.'s Duluth grain
house was announced shortly before 10
O'Clock, and caused tremendous panic in
prices and feeling. Shortly afterward
quiet was partially restored by the news
that heavy syndicate had been formed,
consisting of A. J. Sawyer & Co., Van Du-
zen & Co., Dunn & Thomas and George
Spencer & Co., to take the long wheat off
of Griffith. Marshall & Co., and all the
wheat in Duluth, if necessary, in order TO
stop further break. Griffith, Marshall &
Co. were long about 100000 bushels, and
have disposed of about 100000 bushels
since the panic began, which leaves $500, =
600 bushels for the syndicate to shoulder.
The reported formation Of the syndicate is
discredited by many, but the report GER
tainly checked the downward tendency Of
prices to-day.

Referring to the Haddock murder,
the Portland World says: ''The trial
of John Arensdorf, the brewer, at Sioux
City, Iowa, for the murder of Rev
Geo. c. Haddock, over a year ago, is
going on and commands great atten-
ton throughout the whole country,
but particularly in that state, where it
is recognized that no matter who act
ually shot Mr.. Haddocl1, the crime was
the result of concerted plotting against
him by the saloon and brewery men Of
Sioux City, their deep-seated animos-
ity having been engendered by the ac-
tive part taken by him in prosecuting
violators of the prohibitory law. The
tragic death of Mr.. HaddoclS has had
more powerful influence in closing sa-
looms and curtailing violations of the
law since that occurrance than all else
combined.r

Food From the Earth.

The chemistry of the earth requires a
year to produce bread. All food bread
and meat and fruits in fact-comes
from the elements stored by God in the
earth, air and water. Edison thinks he
has discovered how, instead of letting
Dame Nature occupy year in the coll
lecting of these clements he will make
all food within an hour by combining
these elements organically. His meat
compounds, for instance, are claimed
to be formed by exposing the three ele-
ments in red hot state to nitrogen gas
though using different fiavors, which
he gets also from the earth. 81 can
make wine, and have madeit, y he says,
'with New Jersey earth and water that
oman can tell from Chateau Yquem.n
Edison is reported to have further re-
marked that mo change of food is con-
templated. Every man can have food
of the kind to which he is accustomed
or which he prefers. 1t viii be as easy
to produce cabbage as oranges, or pork
as partridges. We shall actually pro-
duce these very things but in new
form. 1t will be cabbages that have
never felt the rain, and pork and part
ridges that have never been alive. We
merely take short cut and snatch the
food from the earth, without giving it
the trouble of growing. 1t will lack
fiber, which is the only perceptible diff
feraIlcc.

Gently been inviting prominent demo-

ton. Senator Reagan has made reply
TO such Invitation. After picturing the
wretchedness and dishonor TO be en-
eountered in every community result
ing from the use of liquor, the distln-
guished senator says: II must express
my regret that any effort has been made
TO make party question of prohibition,
and especially do regret that demo-
Gratis would seek tc identify that great
and historic party with the fortunes
and fate of whisky shops, drunkards
aud criminals. We now have an oppor-

happiness without endangering the sue
cess and the perpetuation of the prin-
ciples of the democratic party, and l
am in favor of doing so, and at the

effective remedy which could be adopt

judgement, f;avors policy which will
do much for the Improvement of the
condition of our people, pecuniarily

Mr.. c. l.. Smith, in lecture 10 the
farmers in Moorhead, Minnesota stated
that 6,000, 900 pour ds of butter of the
product of 1885 sold for an average of
six and one-fourth cents per pound.
He stated that he has sent out two
hundred inquiries among farmers in
Minnesota asking what was the yearly
average product of butter per COW, and
found by the replies that il was about
one hundred pounds per COW. Suppose
he got thirty cents per pound for il,
which was n high average, the product
of each COW was only thirty dollars.
Now, he claimed that il costs not less
than thirty-siX dollars a year to keep a
COW. Here was direct loss of six dol
lars per head on each COW that did not
produce over one hundred pounds of
butter year. But if we improve our
stock and keep cows that produce two
hundred pounds of butter instead of
one hundred pounds, the product
amount to sixty dollars wear and
leaves a profit of twenty-four dollars
per head. He stated that Holmes and
Mckinstry's cows average twelve
pounds week for forty weeks i'm the
year, or four hundred and eighty
pounds per head. These cows were
profitable. Common stock, kept in a
common manner, as is customary
among ordinary farmers, were not pro-
fitabla.

The states and territories of the Paci-
fic coast are receiving a boom this year
that has not been equaled since the days
of 40. The pursuit of gold will draw
men anywhere, and a statement to the
effect that the metal may be picked up
or dug out of the earth in its virgin
purity, with very little trouble, will at
tract multitudes to the spot. 1t was
such state of affairs that attracted to
the coast thousands of men in the year
referred to and subsequent years but
the attraction of to-day is not gold, in
the sense of forty years ago. They are
coming because of the salubrious eli
mate, the productive soil and the gem
eral healthfnlness of the country they
are coming now to build up homes TO
live and die here. TheG they came ex-
pecting to make fortune in n few
months and return to the scenes of
their childhood 10 spend the remain
der of their days in peace; now they
come TO build cities, and factories,
and workshops, and to tickle the soil
that it may laugh a harvest; to create
new community and expand the do
minion of our grand and free govern
ment. Progressive and wile-awake
towns viii now shoot ahead of their
more slothful neighbors and "knock
the persimmon.n 1t behooves us to
make the future prospects as attractive
as possible, consistent with the truth,
that out of the thousands of people
seeking new homes, some may be in
duced here TO alight and here to build
their nests.
